The Devil's Advocate

I saw this movie "The Devil's Advocate" last weekend. It was a long movie, but it was good. The movie was interesting and gave a lot of food for thought. Of course, the lead pair of Keanu and Charlize was awesome... ;) Al Pacino was his usual cool self. Anyway, the movie made me think about the "Devil" or "Satan" in each of us... And the dialogue that I recall from the movie the most is: "Behold I send you out as sheep amidst the wolves..."

Vanity, my favorite sin.... the devil proclaims! Interesting, since every one of us is vain to an extent... everyone of us thinks of self before others I guess... of course, you cannot avoid it. But I have been trying to practise one thing when I deal with others - I think of what I would have done in their situation and if what they are doing is really so unreasonable and stuff like that... It is tough, but helps in some situations. I also feel that we should be good to others and only then can we expect the same from them. And always I try to help someone if I am able to do it... but I think I used to have more opportunities t help people when I was back home... don't know why... maybe I changed... or there is a lack of opportunity... don't know! Even with all this, I have my own vices... as everyone has!

I think this blog is so full of unrelated and random thoughts... some time for introspection I guess...
